Answer:

<em>The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters</em>

Explanation:

<u>Components of the displacement</u>

The displacement is a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction. Let's suppose a displacement has a magnitude r and a direction θ, measured with respect to the positive x-direction. The horizontal component of the displacement is calculated by:

$x=r\cos\theta$

The vertical component is calculated by:

$y=r\sin\theta$

The hiker has a displacement with magnitude r = 20.51 m at an angle of 33.16 degrees. Substituting in the above equation:

$y=20.51\sin(33.16^\circ)$

$y=11.22\ m$

The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters

Advantages of using tidal power include no air pollution, no air pollution and low environmental impact.

<h3>What is Tidal Power?</h3>

The rush of ocean waters during tide changes is what generates tidal energy. A renewable energy source is tidal energy.

In places with a wide tidal range—the distance between high tide and low tide—engineers devised methods to harness tidal movement to generate power during the 20th century. Each technique turns tidal energy into electricity using specialised generators.

Production of tidal energy is still in its infancy. So yet, hardly much electricity has been generated. There aren't many commercial-scale tidal power facilities in operation worldwide. The first was at France's La Rance. The Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station in South Korea is the biggest facility. There are very few places in the United States where tidal energy might be generated at a competitive price and no tidal plants. Russia, Canada, France, England, and China have the most potential for using this kind of energy.

A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir

TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

$I=I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_ {0}$ indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

$\theta$ indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

$I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)$

Replacing the values,

$I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)$

$I=100*cos^4(20)$

$I=77.91W/m^2$

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is $77.91W/m^2$

UNO [17]

Define
v = volume of a drop per second, cm³/s

The time taken to fill 200 cm³ is 1 hour.
Let V = 200 cm³, the filled volume.
Let t = 1 h = 3600 s, the time required to fill the volume.

Therefore,
$\frac{200 \, cm^{3}}{v \, cm^{3}/s} = 3600 \, s \\ v = \frac{200}{3600} =0.0556 \, cm^{3}$

The average volume of a single drop is approximately 0.0556 cm³.

Answer: 0.0556 cm³
